4/14 vs. Brewers

[Mooreisbetter27]

They are doing everything right and getting everything to fall in for them. What a frustrating series.

[eddie83]

Why go away knowing he may run? Played right into it.

They need to make a rule about guys getting down coming into second.   Sanchez peeled right into the direction of the throw.  Pirates did this too.  

[Tbone83]

Man, Brew Crew schooling us. Every freaking inning. I'm over this series.

This is where the game turns ugly

When talking about Jackson struggling remember...Willie Mays went 1-26 in his 1951 debut...I still think Jackson needs to get his confidence back

This ain’t 1951. 
 

People have the patience of gnats these days. 
 

I’d be curious to see if anyone back then was griping at Willie Mays for his first 25 at bats.  

[Moose Milligan]

Did Brown just really say something like JW vs. JW? 
 

What a tool.

I'm not saying Holliday will have a career like Mays, but I remember this tidbit when I wrote a theme about Willie as my "most unforgettable character" in 3rd grade. I still have the paper. 

I went back to check that on Wikipedia:

"Mays appeared in his first major league game on May 25 against the Philadelphia Phillies at Shibe Park, batting third. He had no hits in his first 12 at bats in the major leagues, but in his 13th on May 28, he hit a home run off Warren Spahn over the left-field roof of the Polo Grounds."

He will have a long leash as he should.  He has to learn at the ML level, he doesn't have anything to prove down there.

What else does Norby have to prove down there? He's scuffling. With the bat AND on defense. 

[Mooreisbetter27]

We ll take that.

Social media wanted him sent down. 

[oriolediehard]

Rea has found his groove and now we can't hit him, so giving up a run will be huge!!!

[O's84]

Well that was a pleasant surprise.

[baltfan]

I think this team was a bit cocky coming into the season especially after being so good in the spring.  They look a bit shell-shocked. 

[Tbone83]

Needed that.
